WHAT IS THE PERFECT FLY ROD FOR ME?

If you've ever been in a fly shop, listened to fly fishing podcast or even talked to someone who fly fishes, you've probably heard the question. "What is the perfect fly rod for me". It's one of the few questions where the answer never changes. There is no one perfect fly rod. Every location that we fish and every species that we chase requires a little something different in the rod that we use. And there in lies the problem. To truly fish as effectively as we can we need several different types of fly rods. And that can get very expensive. Or at least it could before Wixid Stix came along. At Wixid Stix we produce top quality rods and sell them at a price point that makes them available to any angler. So now more anglers can afford to stockpile several rods in their arsenal so that they always have a rod that is suited for the fishing they are doing that day. Over the years many anglers who were getting into the sport could only afford one fly rod. So they typically end up with a 9', 5 weight fly rod to use for all species and for all locations. Then they quickly find out that their rod is awesome for fishing in the neighborhood pond for small bass or chasing trout on the large tailwater river down the street. But it's not so good for chasing smaller wild trout on a mountain stream. Or for going after larger bass or game fish. So as anglers we wind up tolerating the rod and adjusting how we fish because our "fishing funds" were limited. Now those days of compromising are over. The answer to the question above now is a 7' 6" 3WT rod for smaller game fish. A 9' 5wt rod for the ponds and medium size rivers. And then a 7wt or 8wt rod for those larger species or even saltwater fishing. And at Wixid Stix you can often afford all three of those rods and maybe even one more for the same price you might pay for one of the high-end rods on the market.

So what are you giving up by using Wixid Stix rods? While we here at Wixid Stix believe our rods are as good as some of the $500.00+ rods, we know there are better rods on the market. But unless you can afford three or four of those high-end rods, you will find yourself fishing with a fly rod that is not ideal for the situation you are in on a lot of your fishing trips. So while you might be fishing with a rod that is not quite as good as the high dollar rod on 10%-20% of your trips, you will be fishing with a rod that is better suited for you on the 80%+ of the trips you take. And the drop off from the high-end rods on those days is so small that you probably won't even notice. So you are not sacrificing anything by fishing Wixid Stix fly rods and we believe overall you will be gaining in your ability to properly fish any body of water. And for any species that you target. And with the proper equipment you will feel more confident. And we all know that a confident angler ALWAYS catches more fish.

And we have not even talked about the other advantages that come with buying Wixid Stix fly rods.

• Instead of saving up weeks or months for the other rods, your budget can afford a new rod more quickly. And it's easier to grow your arsenal over a few months. 
• If you own more than one fly rod, your fishing trips won't come to an end if you break a rod. And we all eventually break a rod. So even if your high end rod has a lifetime warrantee, you're still stuck at home while you wait months for the repair. And it still cost you between $60.00-$100.00 for that "free lifetime warrantee".
• Fishing is more fun when you go with a friend. If you own several rods then you can invite a friend and let them use one of your rods. And you won't worry about them breaking your $500.00 rod.
• As your love of the sport grows and you can afford the high-end rods, you can pass along your old Wixid Stix rods to a young kid who is maybe just discovering the great outdoors.
• As a parent I know how hard it is to spend hundreds of dollars for something that your child wants. But you're not sure they will even be using it next month. Wixid Stix makes it easier for a parent to give their kid a really good fly rod without the risk of wasting money on a high-end rod.

So if you are someone who is thinking about fly fishing for the first time. Or someone who has been doing it for a few years and wants to expand your fishing. Wixid Stix fly rods provides you with exactly what you need. Without compromising your fishing experience. So we want to thank you for giving our rods a try.
